Holy crap those shrank quite a bit… let us know how they fit once you're finished w the soaks

Well i meant overall…
Like i just gave a pair of FH F310 a hot soak and they shrank a LOT... but then i just soaked F380 same size twice and they shrank like half of what the F310 did but seemed to be more in line with what i usually see raw denim shrink so far
-
Decided to soak my xx007's again to get the waist down some more while I watch the US play from behind…
-
Not much shirking if any occurred on the second soak/ hang dry… So little that I stopped measuring half way through because it was apparent that nothing really happened. Luckily I own an IHB-03 which hold them up whenever I decide to take a slim fit for the day...

Soon my friend, soon. I am currently showing my IH-802's some love… You can however see them here: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=165.msg19249#msg19249 and here: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=9.msg19250#msg19250 for the time being.

Bump for this old thread as when in DC4 this weekend I picked up a pair of xx-011's.
I went in just to look, with the idea of maybe buying a shirt because I am waiting for 666's or BB's as an xmas present to myself, but as soon as I saw these I fell in love and figured they would keep me going for a wee while
I'm pondering soak strategy (I've had some great advice off Daniel so i'm all set, just thinking out loud for thread purposes. ) I've got an inch at the waist that could be lost, and in the thigh and calf that they could go in a bit but I like the kind of loose slim silhouette I have right now. Plus, I'm not that bothered about fades as the jeans are so beautiful as they are so I may just tough them out as is then soak them when the start to stretch out. (I sized down one to 31, as an example, my triple works are w32)
Anyway, sadly I need to take these off now and go to bed ::)

Just picked up a pair of xx-005's from Blue in Green. First soak complete and ready to take them into the store for hem. I soaked in lukewarm water and there has been pretty minimal shrinkage. I've had them on for about 40 minutes now and they're already breaking in and getting more comfortable.
Question: Does anyone know how much dye comes off of these? There doesn't seem to be much dye on this pair. However, along with the denim I also picked up a tan Studio D'Artisan wallet from BIG and I'd hate to stain it right away.
Cheers.

I assure you that your wallet get stained with every new pair of raw denim

Has anyone here had any experience with PBJ AI001 or AI002, I looked at a pair the other day; the denim on these is truly insane, I've never seen anything like it!!If it wasn't for the price I'd have a pair http://shop.dc4.de/pure-blue-japanbrai-002br100-natural-indigo-p-480.html

I agree, these caught my eye lately, too. Forbidden has one for the Heavyweight denim contest. What bums me out is the low crotch on most PBJ and that AI seem to fade very slow if at all (and the price of course!)

I have both models, I could not resist when I saw them at BIG last Summer and fucked up my credit card. The A001 is a bit too loose and not tapered enough for me. The A002 is perfect. Both models have the best fabric I've ever worn. I like the A002 pair almost as much as my IH 634Sr's.
PBJ is very nice overall. I love their indigo od'd 009 (or is it 007) slim straight model and cant wait for their 24oz version to come out.

That's quite a recommendation! Are they as hard to fade as has been suggested?
